Canopies And Other Covers

Some sort of protection for a conveyor lift is highly recommended and will prolong the life of the equipment.  During the winter season, this will minimize the need for overnight snow removal at start-up. Magic Carpet® lifts have a built-in motorized brush designed for use during operation, but this may not be feasible for significant snow accumulation. During the off-season, a protective cover will help to keep the system clean and prevent dirt and harmful UV rays from deteriorating the conveyor.

While some areas construct their own shelters, Magic Carpet Lifts offers a variety of coverings to fit any budget.

Tarps

A simple tarpaulin can be designed to cover a lift in either a single piece or “shingled” in overlapping smaller pieces.  When used as a single long tarp, a roller-type device can be a convenient way to store the tarp and allow for easy installation and removal (similar to a swimming pool cover system).

Tarps are constructed of 18 oz. vinyl coated nylon material and have perimeter grommets on 2’ centers.  A variety of colors are available.  Tarps are custom cut and sewn and priced per square foot.

Plastic Covers

Corrugated plastic sections are a very effective method to also protect the conveyor belt and walkway extensions from overnight snowfall and offseason storage.  The arch design naturally sheds the snow and pieces can be set alongside the conveyor during the day as a buffer for the equipment.

BLACK POLYETHYLENE is the less expensive of the two offerings, while the YELLOW POLYPROPYLENE product is heavier and more durable.  Both are available in standard size sections. 

Canopies

Increasingly popular as the average conveyor length continues to grow, a canopy can virtually eliminate the need for snow removal maintenance.  Attractive fiberglass design is manufactured with colors customized to meet area preference, meet Forest Service standards or any other criteria.

Canopies are designed to mount to the supports of the conveyor frame.  Sliding windows provide both snow/wind protection and give an open feeling to the rider.
